Bootstrap 6 Input Group

Input group

Easily extend form controls by adding text, buttons, or button groups on either side of textual inputs, custom selects, and custom file inputs.

Available in Other JavaScript Frameworks

CoreUI Bootstrap 6 Input Group is also available for Angular, React, and Vue. Explore framework-specific implementations below:

On this page

Basic example

Place one add-on or button on either side of an input. You may also place one on both sides of an input. Remember to place <label>s outside the input group.

@example.com

Your vanity URL

https://example.com/users/

$ .00

With textarea

html

<div class="input-group mb-4">
  <span class="input-group-text" id="basic-addon1">@</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" aria-label="Username" aria-describedby="basic-addon1">
</div>

<div class="input-group mb-4">
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Recipient's username" aria-label="Recipient's username" aria-describedby="basic-addon2">
  <span class="input-group-text" id="basic-addon2">@example.com</span>
</div>

<label for="basic-url" class="form-label">Your vanity URL</label>
<div class="input-group mb-4">
  <span class="input-group-text" id="basic-addon3">https://example.com/users/</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" id="basic-url" aria-describedby="basic-addon3">
</div>

<div class="input-group mb-4">
  <span class="input-group-text">$</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Amount (to the nearest dollar)">
  <span class="input-group-text">.00</span>
</div>

<div class="input-group mb-4">
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" aria-label="Username">
  <span class="input-group-text">@</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Server" aria-label="Server">
</div>

<div class="input-group">
  <span class="input-group-text">With textarea</span>
  <textarea class="form-control" aria-label="With textarea"></textarea>
</div>

With form field

Wrap the control in .form-field to lay it out with its label and description, and to get validation feedback in the right place.

Your vanity URL

https://example.com/users/

Choose a unique name for your profile.

html

<div class="form-field">
  <label for="inputGroupField" class="form-label">Your vanity URL</label>
  <div class="input-group">
    <span class="input-group-text">https://example.com/users/</span>
    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputGroupField">
  </div>
  <div class="form-text">Choose a unique name for your profile.</div>
</div>

Wrapping

Input groups wrap by default via flex-wrap: wrap in order to accommodate custom form field validation within an input group. You may disable this with .flex-nowrap.

html

<div class="input-group flex-nowrap">
  <span class="input-group-text" id="addon-wrapping">@</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" aria-label="Username" aria-describedby="addon-wrapping">
</div>

Sizing

Add the relative form sizing classes to the .input-group itself and contents within will automatically resize—no need for repeating the form control size classes on each element.

Sizing on the individual input group elements isn’t supported.

Small

Default

Large

html

<div class="input-group input-group-sm mb-4">
  <span class="input-group-text" id="inputGroup-sizing-sm">Small</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Sizing example input" aria-describedby="inputGroup-sizing-sm">
</div>

<div class="input-group mb-4">
  <span class="input-group-text" id="inputGroup-sizing-default">Default</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Sizing example input" aria-describedby="inputGroup-sizing-default">
</div>

<div class="input-group input-group-lg">
  <span class="input-group-text" id="inputGroup-sizing-lg">Large</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Sizing example input" aria-describedby="inputGroup-sizing-lg">
</div>

Checkboxes and radios

Place any checkbox or radio option within an input group’s addon instead of text. We recommend adding .mt-0 to the .check or .radio input when there’s no visible text next to the input.

html

<div class="input-group mb-4">
  <div class="input-group-text">
    <input class="check mt-0" type="checkbox" value="" aria-label="Checkbox for following text input">
  </div>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Text input with checkbox">
</div>

<div class="input-group">
  <div class="input-group-text">
    <input class="radio mt-0" type="radio" value="" aria-label="Radio button for following text input">
  </div>
  <input type="text" class="form-control" aria-label="Text input with radio button">
</div>

Multiple inputs

While multiple <input />s are supported visually, validation styles are only available for input groups with a single <input />.

First and last name

html

<div class="input-group">
  <span class="input-group-text">First and last name</span>
  <input type="text" aria-label="First name" class="form-control">
  <input type="text" aria-label="Last name" class="form-control">
</div>

Multiple addons

Multiple add-ons are supported and can be mixed with checkbox and radio input versions.

html

<div class="input-group mb-4">
  <span class="input-group-text">$</span>

Custom file input

Upload

html

<div class="input-group mb-4">
  <label class="input-group-text" for="inputGroupFile01">Upload</label>
  <input type="file" class="form-control" id="inputGroupFile01">
</div>

<div class="input-group mb-4">
  <input type="file" class="form-control" id="inputGroupFile02">
  <label class="input-group-text" for="inputGroupFile02">Upload</label>
</div>

<div class="input-group mb-4">
  <button class="btn-outline theme-secondary" type="button" id="inputGroupFileAddon03">Button</button>
  <input type="file" class="form-control" id="inputGroupFile03" aria-describedby="inputGroupFileAddon03" aria-label="Upload">

  <button class="btn-outline theme-secondary" type="button" id="inputGroupFileAddon04">Button</button>
</div>

Skipping an element

CSS selectors can only account for so much. When a group carries an element that should not take part in the border-radius and negative-margin logic — a hidden input, a tooltip anchor — add .input-group-ignore to it and the corners flow to its visible neighbours:

html

<div class="input-group">
  <span class="input-group-text" id="visible-addon">@</span>
  <input type="text" class="form-control input-group-ignore d-none" placeholder="Hidden input" aria-label="Hidden input" aria-describedby="visible-addon">
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Visible input" aria-label="Visible input" aria-describedby="visible-addon">
</div>

Customizing

CSS variables

The addon declares its own tokens on .input-group-text, so a single addon can be repainted or resized without a modifier class. The first six are the --cui-control-* frame tokens, copied onto the addon so it lines up with the control next to it; .input-group-{size} re-points all of them but the border width, on the addon and on the .form-control or .form-select next to it. .input-group itself declares none — it is a layout wrapper, and a token set on it reaches neither the addon nor the control, because each declares its own.

scss

$input-group-tokens: () !default;
$input-group-tokens: defaults(
  (
    --cui-control-padding-y: var(--cui-btn-input-padding-y),
    --cui-control-padding-x: var(--cui-btn-input-padding-x),
    --cui-control-font-size: var(--cui-btn-input-font-size),
    --cui-control-line-height: var(--cui-btn-input-line-height),
    --cui-control-border-width: var(--cui-btn-input-border-width),
    --cui-control-border-radius: var(--cui-btn-input-border-radius),
    --cui-input-group-addon-font-weight: var(--cui-btn-input-font-weight),
    --cui-input-group-addon-color: var(--cui-btn-input-fg),
    --cui-input-group-addon-bg: var(--cui-bg-2),
    --cui-input-group-addon-border-color: var(--cui-btn-input-border-color),
  ),
  $input-group-tokens
);

<span class="input-group-text" style="--cui-input-group-addon-bg: var(--cui-bg-1);">@</span>

Sass maps

Each entry is one .input-group-{size} class, and the map merges with your overrides — add a key to define a size, or set one to null to drop it:

scss

// stylelint-disable-next-line scss/dollar-variable-default
$input-group-sizes: defaults(
  ("sm", "lg"),
  $input-group-sizes
);
